In mathematics, the prefix hyper- is often used for constructs in higher dimensional spaces:

• Hypercube, a cube [0,1]^d, where d > 3 (the word tesseract was used, especially in nineteenth and early twentieth century British semi-popular books on mathematics, to denote the special case d = 4)
• Hyperplane, an affine subspace of codimension one in such a space
• Hypersphere, a round sphere dimension higher than 3, especially if embedded in such a space
• Hypersurface, a submanifold of codimension one, especially if embedded in such a space (including hypersphere and hyperplane as special cases)
